PFW: Day 4

Designer: Sonia Rykiel

The Look: One can always count on Sonia Rykiel for a fun and quirky show. The designer's daughter, Nathalie, now at the helm, was inspired by the British Isles and gave traditional tartans and Faire Isle jumpers a girly twist with candy brights and feminine accents like ruffles and bows.

PFW: Day 4

Designer: Jean Paul Gaultier

The Look: The French designer best known for creating Madonna's conical bra for her Blonde Ambition tour has always loved a spot of exhibitionism. For his autumn/winter show he instructed his brigade of models, led by French comedic actress Valerie Lemercier, to strip off their layers and toss them into the audience. Classis wardrobe staples were shed, including trench coats, prim ladylike blouses and pencil skirts.

PFW: Day 4

Designer: Viktor & Rolf

The Look: Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren always treat their audience to a bit of a fashion fantasy odyssy and this season was no exception. As soon as it was lights down we were sucked back in time to the Middle Ages where we were greeted by coats that looked like knights' armour and monk-like togas like the ones worn during the Crusades.

The Look: Precision tailoring is where these designers excel. The intricacy of this structured, origami-pleated coat is what makes the duo's designs practically border on couture.
